Human Resources Generalist

We are seeking an experienced Human Resources Generalist to own day-to-day HR administration and corporate compliance for FacilityIG, working on-site from our Tempe, AZ office. The ideal candidate has four or more years of progressive HR experience, a working knowledge of federal and Arizona/Texas employment law, and the judgment and discretion to be the primary point of contact for employees and managers on HR matters.

This is a full-time, hourly position (40 hours per week, weekdays) paying $25.00 – $35.00 per hour, depending on experience.
